    I’ve also heard that he gets approached a lot by weirdos asking odd questions. Specifically, at one talk, during the Q and A portion, getting asked highly technical questions by adults who grew up watching him and expecting him to be able to respond. I wouldn’t put too much weight on what randos on the Internet have to say about his character.

        He also had some bad takes in his more recent show, but people are too ready to believe random people on the internet on matters of character when they’ve, at max, only talked to him for 5 minutes. He’s has a net positive impact and people would better to find other targets for their energy.

          I didn’t grew up with bill because that’s a very american thing, i only knew him from memes. I watched his netflix show when it aired and all i could think is that he seems like an absolute cunt.

            I haven’t seen his netflic show, because why have a netflix account? Anyway, he was promoting education all his life and now we’re nose diving into a ecological collapse for reasons he warned us about. I would be a little cross as well by now.
